The Craftsman wrenches are good and come in different ranges. Be sure to check the torque values for the jobs you expect to do, and purchase a torque wrench that handles everything in that range.
Otherwise you end up buying more than one.
I have a smaller one for inch-pound readings that is 1/4" drive.
But I used to re-calibrate torque wrenches or check them for customers, and I still have the equipment. So mine go all the way to 600 lbs-feet, since the Citroens require them.
If you unbolt the engine cradle from the frame, that's 450 ils-feet.
